Can depression lower your immune system? I have symptoms of a cold, cough and headaches. I have family issue?
I have had a serious family issue. My cold was going away, but now it seems to have gotten worse. Can this be caused by my depression about this matter?

Yes, depression and stress have been shown to weaken your immune system. Thus, those who are stressed or depressed are more likely to get sick or become ill.

Definitely! Your emotional state has been shown to have a direct affect on immune responses. Try to destress if you can, take a walk and enjoy some sunshine.
